Chapter 780 - 778: Four Directions Stirring
"Hehe, I hope the Mo Family can cooperate with the Hao Family to completely eliminate the Lin Family and World Group. I also heard that the Black Alliance is coming. This time, Chen Tianlong and Lin Batian won’t be able to escape their fate." Hao Shuai said with a cold smile.
"Oh? The Black Alliance is coming too? Haha, that’s... fantastic!"
Mo Chou’s confidence surged upon hearing the mention of the Black Alliance.
Originally, with just the power of the Mo Family and the Hao Family, they might not have easily taken down Chen Tianlong and Lin Batian. But with the Black Alliance, it’s a different story.
After Hao Shuai left the Mo Family, the entire Four Directions of South Sea City were in motion.
The Celestial Martial Sect’s Xuan Yu from the Hao Family had already arrived in South Sea City. The senior brother Cheng Hao from Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall was now residing at the Hao Family, and the Celestial Wolf Gang had started plotting against the Baiyun Group. Most importantly, the Black Alliance was here too, and they brought along two master practitioners of the Yellow Dao Seven Stars, Zhang Bao and Zhang Bei.
Faced with such a powerful lineup, whether Chen Tianlong could weather the storm was a matter of concern for that eminent person.
In the detention center of South Sea City, Yan Nanfei looked at the sudden dark clouds in the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "It seems the time has come!"
In a certain medicinal garden in South Sea City, a fifty-year-old man looked at the clouds in all directions, wiped the sweat off his forehead gently, and sighed, "The time has come."
In the following time, Chen Tianlong also began to feel the pressure from all sides, especially from the Hao Family and the Mo Family. The promotion of the new product, the Tongxinling project, had been somewhat hindered.
Particularly, the Mo Family’s new project used celebrity influence, drawing the public’s attention.
Moreover, the Hao Family’s new project was also very eye-catching. After all, this time the Celestial Wolf Gang in Capital City gave them strong publicity support, and for a while, World Medicine’s new project didn’t receive much attention.
After all, medicine tends to follow trends—the effects aren’t too apparent, so people have become accustomed to using it, buying from wherever seems most popular.
"Chen Tianlong, what should we do? Our new project hardly has any competitive edge. Everyone’s pharmaceutical products perform similarly, without any remarkable strengths. The only thing is that our new drug is purely herbal without side effects, improving over time, but its downside is the slow effect."
Wu Mengting analyzed, "But the public doesn’t think that way. Many people are anxious; they only care about immediate results. As for saying ’slow and steady improvements with no side effects,’ they definitely don’t trust that. After all, if there’s no effect after using it for a month or two, wouldn’t people just have wasted time and money?"
"This..."
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, feeling that Wu Mengting was right. After all, what consumers value is immediate results, and finding a clear advantage with their purely herbal new medicine was difficult.
How can we earn consumers’ trust?
With this question in mind, a somewhat suppressed Chen Tianlong walked into the school.
In the classroom.
"Chen Tianlong, why are you so listless today? Didn’t you get enough sleep?" Lin Wushuang asked worriedly upon seeing Chen Tianlong slumped over the desk in a daze.
Their relationship was already established. Strictly speaking, Chen Tianlong was already her husband, so she would understand anything that happened at the first moment.
"Sigh, the company is facing problems. The new drug lacks competitiveness and advantages," Chen Tianlong said truthfully.
"Huh? What do you mean by ’lacking competitiveness’?" Lin Wushuang, not really versed in business matters, was planning to study economics and management in college to help her father afterwards.
"Haha, strictly speaking, it means people don’t trust our products very much. Competing products don’t show significant advantages, and indeed, the Hao Family and the Mo Family have intentionally slashed prices, leading to poor sales for our new drug," Chen Tianlong said with a bitter smile.
"Oh, I get it. So you’re saying your products were originally superior to others, and the pricing was reasonable, but people just don’t believe it, is that right?" Lin Wushuang asked.
"Yeah, you could say that."
"Then it’s simple. With good quality, there’s no fear of consumers not buying it."
Wu Mengting seemed to have thought of a good idea and continued, "We’ll find someone trustworthy to endorse it for us. This way, wouldn’t it solve the problem?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, a light bulb went off in Chen Tianlong’s mind, and it seemed like he also thought of something: "Haha, Wushuang, you’re truly my lucky goddess. Thank you, I know what to do now."
Chen Tianlong suddenly became happy, for when it came to someone trustworthy, an idea had struck him. If this person could make an appearance, then his new drug product would undoubtedly become a hot seller.
It’s just that using someone to make money, he wasn’t sure if she would be willing.
"Hehe, Chen Tianlong, what are you talking about? We’re... we’re basically like a couple," Lin Wushuang blushed. The two could even be considered better than romantic partners; they just hadn’t yet confessed, but each already had the other in their heart.
An entire class quickly passed, and Chen Tianlong, being a bit excited, didn’t linger in the classroom. After speaking with Lin Wushuang, he quickly returned to the company.
Soon after, he eagerly pulled out his phone, pondered for a moment, and decided to give her a call.
Capital City.
The big star Huang Ziyan had just finished a concert, and she could finally rest for some time. Previously, she’d been so busy that she hadn’t felt much, but now that she settled down, she couldn’t help but think of someone.
That person was Chen Tianlong.
The incident half a year ago had left her heart unsettled. Having gone through so many ups and downs, she had never met a man like him before, someone to whom she was so devoted that she could stake her life for him.
Compared to those scheming rich boys, she much preferred a simple man like this.
"Chen Tianlong, how are you now? I really miss you."
At this moment, a call suddenly came in. The number looked unfamiliar, but the note attached to it made Huang Ziyan’s eyes widen.
It displayed: The one I can’t let go.
These words were the note Huang Ziyan had added when she got Chen Tianlong’s number after visiting him in the hospital. Remembering that moment felt as if it was just yesterday, so far yet so close.
With some excitement, Huang Ziyan answered the call, then took a deep breath, trying to contain her inner excitement. In a gentle voice, she asked, "Hello, is this Chen Tianlong?"
"Haha, Ziyan, it’s me," Chen Tianlong said, feeling somewhat excited upon hearing her nightingale-like voice.
Huang Ziyan gave him the impression of being a down-to-earth big star: gentle, lively, youthful, and vibrant.
"It really is you..."
Taking a deep breath, Huang Ziyan tried hard to control her emotions, but she couldn’t help it: "Chen Tianlong, why are you only calling me now, after six months? Didn’t you miss me at all?"
"Ah? Well... You’re a big star, and us little shrimps don’t dare to disturb you. I’m afraid of getting slapped!" Chen Tianlong replied jokingly.
"Pfft, you’re afraid of getting slapped? I heard my brother Huang Zhong was defeated by you. Who else dares to hit you?" Huang Ziyan pouted as she spoke to the phone.
